In the midst of all of the bad news these days, I wanted to share some good news this morning.
I’m having my Sunday coffee and biscuits, and overheard the lady who brings out the coffee speaking with a couple (man/woman) who seem to be regulars. They were planning a trip somewhere beforehand, and the coffee lady engaged about where they were going. Eventually, it led to the realization that that the coffee lady’s “roommate” was really her partner. Which made me smile, because love shouldln’t be a bad thing (despite the what bigots will spout off).
But the amazing thing, and the thing that made this interaction special, was that as the coffee lady was leaving, she described her partner as special. Sweet, right? But then the lady in the travel-planning couple replied with “You’re special. And that news make me happy.”
That’s what life is supposed to be. Not all of the negative hate-filled bullshit you hear from this administration and its ilk. Love is supposed to be a joyous thing. And this small interaction made it joyous this morning for me. And it made my heart swell a little bit.
